It's currently in the form of a seperate self supporting package based
on an older kernel. So that probably needs a little bit of work to get
it rebased on current kernel. It's not a must for me to get it in 2.6.25
though, so if we miss it that's not a problem.

BTW, when is the approx. deadline for 2.6.25?

Yes, WEP, WPA and WPA2 all should work fine. I'm using it everyday on a
WPA2 network with no issues. I don't have a wired connection here, so I
depend on it working for me :)
